This newspaper, Beijing, March 21 (Reporter Wang Yichen) The national power industry statistics released by the National Energy Administration on the 21st show that as of the end of February, the national installed power generation capacity was about 2.39 billion kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 7.8%.
Among them, the installed capacity of wind power is about 330 million kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 17.5%; the installed capacity of solar power generation is about 320 million kilowatts, an increase of 22.7% year-on-year.
Under the "double carbon" goal, during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, my country will promote the development of renewable energy by leaps and bounds, which is also confirmed by the substantial growth of wind power and photovoltaic installed capacity.
The data shows that in the first two months, the major power generation enterprises in the country completed an investment of 47.1 billion yuan in power projects, a year-on-year decrease of 1.9%. Among them, hydropower was 12.3 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 19.6%; solar power generation was 9.4 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 153.7%.
The investment in power grid projects was 31.3 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 37.6%.
Although my country's energy supply capacity is reliably guaranteed, the proportion of unstable power sources such as wind power and photovoltaics that are greatly affected by the climate has increased significantly, and the risk of energy supply due to climate change and price fluctuations has also increased significantly.
The data shows that in the first two months, the country's power generation equipment has accumulated an average of 597 hours, a decrease of 8 hours compared with the same period of the previous year.
Among them, nuclear power was 1,195 hours, an increase of 48 hours over the same period of the previous year; wind power was 323 hours, a decrease of 96 hours over the same period of the previous year.
Lian Weiliang, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, previously stated that to steadily promote carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, we must speed up the clean and low-carbon transformation of energy, which puts forward higher requirements for energy supply; my country has been deeply integrated into the world economy, and global commodities Rising prices have driven the demand for energy-intensive products, and geopolitical conflicts and changes in global energy supply and demand will affect the safe and reliable supply of energy in my country.
Lian Weiliang revealed that he will focus on four aspects to ensure energy security and supply: focus on increasing production capacity, focus on strengthening reserves, focus on ensuring supply and stable prices, and resolutely guard the bottom line of energy consumption for people's livelihood.
Lian Weiliang said that it is necessary to vigorously promote the construction of large-scale wind power photovoltaic bases focusing on deserts, Gobi, and desert areas, greatly increase peak-shaving power sources such as pumped storage, and coordinately increase the effective output of various power generation; greatly increase investment in oil and gas exploration and development, promote Increase oil and gas reserves and production; release advanced coal production capacity in an orderly manner, and maintain coal production at a reasonable level.
At the same time, accelerate the construction of government dispatchable coal reserve capacity of more than 200 million tons, add more than 5 billion cubic meters of gas storage facilities, promote the national emergency backup and peak-shaving power supply to reach more than 300 million kilowatts, and guide key energy production enterprises and major energy users. Strengthen social responsibility reserves.
